Our Verdict
Jabra Elite 25e Wireless
Jabra Elite 45e Wireless
The Jabra Elite 45e Wireless are better headphones than the Jabra Elite 25e Wireless. They have a more portable design, thanks to the flexible cable instead of rigid plastic neck support, and they also feel less cheap than the Elite 25e. The Elite 45e are also compatible with the Jabra Sound+ for sound customization, while the Elite 25e are not. However, the Elite 25e have twice as much battery life as the Elite 45e and have surprisingly better passive noise isolation results in our testing, which make them a better pick for long commutes.
